*Yes, I actually read the policy details. Give me a frickin’ medal or at least a bunch of dark chocolate.
Acceptable risk? Apparently not, according to the folks who make risk assessment their business.

Dina,
I read your entry, and I thought of my little witty entry from a while ago: The Good Neighbor, with the Missile: http://www.inmff.net/peidm/archives/000631.html
Apparently we’re the only two normal consumers who read these policies… Why don’t we each buy ourselves dark chocolate and say we bought it for each other? 😉
